Hi all,
This was really bothering me for some time, and I saw a couple of people
were affected on the mailing list as well. Hopefully this will help someone
out.
The issue is in certain situations, say when you open a new instance of the
fish shell either through another tab in the gnome-terminal or through
right-clicking on a folder and using the "Open in Terminal" action in
Nautilus, the fish shell appears to start in your ~ home directory. This is
just a problem of appearances, however and any commands like "ls" or "cd"
use the proper initial working directory to start. Only $PWD has been
incorrectly set to your home directory.
Because I wouldn't really know where to find this bug in the source and to
patch it, here's my very simplistic work around:
Simply add "cd ." to your config.fish startup file and $PWD will be properly
assigned.
There, you won't be confused that "Open in Terminal" or opening in a new tab
is not working and you have a proper prompt and $PWD variable. Let me know
if this breaks something else or there is a better solution.
Cheers,
J
